A father and daughter who robbed three banks together in Dallas have both been sentenced to federal prison time, the U.S. attorney's office said.

John Charles Applewhite, 50, and his daughter, Shelby Dawn Applewhite, 23, robbed the following banks in May 2013: a Citibank at 14909 Coit Rd., a Veritex Community Bank at 14885 Preston Rd. and a ViewPoint Bank at 5941 Forest Lane, court records show.

The two drove in separate vehicles. They switched vehicles when they got close to the banks and then altered a license plate before the robberies, according to court records.

Shelby Applewhite walked into the banks to learn the layout and get information about bank employees and whether or not there was a security guard, court records show.

She then reported back to her father, who robbed the banks while wearing a hoodie, scarf or mask as well as sunglasses and gloves. Authorities said he pointed a gun at tellers during the robberies.

John Applewhite pleaded guilty in October 2013 to three counts of bank robbery and was sentenced Monday to slightly more than 15 years in federal prison. He was on probation at the time for a previous bank robbery.

Shelby Applewhite was sentenced in March to five years in federal prison. She pleaded guilty in November 2013 to one count of conspiracy to commit the three bank robberies.
